Methods： A total of 90 patients with shoulder and arm pain were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 45 cases in each group. The treatment of Shu-acupuncture method in Nei Jing （Classic of Internal Medicine） was adopted in the observation group, routine acupuncture was used in the control group. The two groups were treated once every day, with 5 treatments as one course, and a 2-day rest between two courses. After 3 courses, pain was assessed by visual analog scale （VAS）, and the clinical effects were compared between the two groups. Results： After the treatment, VAS scores were significantly changed in both groups （both P〈O.01）. The VAS score was lower in the observation group than that in the control group, with a statistical difference between the two groups （P〈0.05）. The total effective rate was 100% in the observation group, versus 91.1% in the control group, the difference was statistically significant （P〈O.05）. Conclusion： The therapeutic effect of Shu-acupuncture method in Nei Jing （Classic of Internal Medicine） is better than that of routine acupuncture in treatinR shoulder and arm pain.展开更多
